Lección de repaso - Review and Repetition: Los pronombres

Learning a new language can be a challenging and time-consuming process, but with the right tools and techniques, it is possible to achieve fluency and speak like a native. One powerful tool that can help language learners to make rapid progress is repetition.

Repetition

Repetition is the act of repeating something, whether it be a word, phrase, lesson, or concept in order to reinforce it in the mind. When it comes to language learning, repetition can be a highly effective way to improve pronunciation, build vocabulary, and increase fluency.

What to Expect?

In this course, we will provide lecciones de repaso – review lessons, which can be used as lessons for repetition. We will also provide tips and strategies for incorporating repetition into your Spanish language learning routine. By the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of the power of repetition when learning a second language.

Lección de repaso - Los pronombres (Subject Pronouns)

Subject Pronouns in Spanish, or los Pronombres Personales, are simply what we use to identify the subject of a verb – be it a person, place, or thing.

These pronouns (also referred to as “personal pronouns”) tell us who or what is performing the action of a verb, without needing to repeat an aforementioned noun.

Let’s see a simple example of them in action:

  • Claudia and Miguel go to school together. They are friends – Claudia y Miguel van a la escuela juntos. Ellos son amigos.

In this example, the subjects Claudia and Miguel were replaced by the subject pronoun ellos (they).

Below are all of the Subject Pronouns in Spanish that you should know.
